Thirteen candidates have filed independent nominating petitions with the Jefferson County Board of Elections for local races this fall.

Donna J. Bohn filed a petition to be included on the ballot as an independent for the District 10 seat on the Jefferson County Board of Legislators. Mrs. Bohn also filed a petition as a Democrat.

Three candidates, two Republicans and one Democrat, have emerged for the District 10 seat after longtime legislator Michael W. Behling, R-Adams, announced that he would be stepping down at the end of his term.

There will be a primary between Republicans Jeremiah J. Maxon and Jayson J. Jones for their partys nomination for the District 10 seat.

Stacey Berry filed an independent nominating petition for town of Rodman supervisor.

Mr. Berrys Democratic petition was invalidated by the Board of Elections after Walter M. Gallo objected to Mr. Berrys petition on the grounds that the incorrect date was listed on the preamble of the form.

Other petitions filed include:

n Jeremy C. Durand for town of Alexandria Highway superintendent. Mr. Durand also filed a petition as a Republican.

n Dennis W. Pearson for town of Cape Vincent council.

n Joshua L. Crump for town of Champion council.
